Simon talks about the important message One Punch Kill tells.
It Only Takes A Phone Call
Short Film
Steven is a honest, family man who bears the burden of his 'wannabe gangster' father, a supposedly local hardman.
When Steven inadvertently falls foul of some heavies, he is torn between resolving the situation legally and peacefully or by taking his father's option of using violence by bringing in equally bad people, doing so by making the ever threatening 'phone call.'
A classic good versus evil story with far reaching implications for anyone tempted to enter a dark ford or world of criminal retribution.
One Last Round
Stage Play
Set in a English working man's pub with a cast of just three main players, 'One Last Round is made ideal as the setting for a stage production.
A fighter with a drink problem, coming toward the end of his career has a dreadful decision to make to bring in the pennies.
Make a low-key appearance in the ring for what he knows will be his last fight or use his gift of fighting for the violent delights of local gangsters and do their bidding for them.
Sitting at a table in a grim bar, he pours his heart out to his wife and his best friend, seeking their thoughts on his choice.
One Last Round is a tale of the tough decision facing all men coming to the end of their 'summer.'
MEDIA APPEARANCES
Panic & Positivity
Panic & Positivity is a short talk Simon gave on the stage in the summer of 2023.
In it he talks of how he overcame his own doubts and fears, but also of a personality that is global, yet still struggles. You will be surprised to find out who the star is.
From Bullied to Black Belt
This short film was made in the USA and shows Simon training with his daughter Luka, and the family being interviewed, talking candidly about some of their experiences.
All true stories inspired by the book.
Simon on the BBC
Simon has spoken many times on local and national radio, but his favourite interview by far was with the BBC's Jason Mohammad on his writing and experiences with bullies.
Listen to the interview in full via the image to the side. Hover for sound.
Despite The Fear
This very short doc-film was produced some time ago and is a very honest insight into the fears Simon has faced and overcome, including a particularly bad time when Simon was at loggerheads with a gang of local drug dealers.
In July 2022, Simon featured on Liquid Bullet Productionz with top man Lee Mayo.
"Lee and I hit it off right away. He was great at drawing out my story, from playground violence to hardcore gangsters. What made it more interesting is Lee's own incredible story, and I was honoured when he asked me to write it
In April 2022, Simon was hosted by Matt Jardine of The Buddhist Millionaire.
Simon and Matt chatted for over an our about past experiences and future goals. Naturally, the two have become firm friends with Simon expressing what a pleasure it was to be interviewed by Matt.
In September 2020, Simon took part in Dan Holloway's podcast, 'The Martial View'.
In this appearance, he pulled no punches. He was honest about his fears, his shortfalls and his alcohol abuse but was also forthright about his well earned strengths, victories and awards.
A Blast From the Past.
Sometime ago Simon talked on the Walkinta Podcast and hit it off with host Travis straight away.
The two talked for over an hour before actually strating to record, such was their rapport, but the record show can be found by click the left icon.
